1st Year Anniversary - St Pete Zouk

It has been a challenging yet rewarding year for the St. Pete Zouk dance community, filled with its sweet and sour moments.

Four years ago, a dream ignited within me—a vision of creating a vibrant Zouk dance community right here in St. Petersburg. A space where we could not only dance but also connect with like-minded souls who share our love for the art of Zouk. The journey, however, was not without its hurdles. One of our biggest challenges was finding the studio and venue to host our gatherings.

Despite facing numerous obstacles, the excitement of our shared passion propelled us forward. Each step along the way has brought us closer to this moment—a moment where I can celebrate growth, connection, and learning with this beautiful Zouk family. What once began as a mere spark of a dream has transformed into a thriving reality.

I would like to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Christine, Carolina, Joe Spano, Aramis, Vincent Wu and many others. Their unwavering support has been crucial in making this dream a reality and in walking alongside us throughout this journey.

Additionally, I am incredibly thankful for Kevin and Olga. Your hard work and dedication to dance are truly remarkable and have not gone unnoticed.

So, let us come together tonight to honor and celebrate the joy of having this wonderful family. Let’s dance, laugh, and cherish the connections we’ve built over the years. Here’s to the memories we’ve created and the many more yet to come!
